Semua Bab A Night with the Billionaire Heir: Bab 21 - Bab 30

LyraI really don’t know why Rose insisted that I take Zane’s breakfast to him at the office. It’s not as if it’s the first time he’d skip breakfast, and he didn’t die so why ask me to go after him now.Is this what marriage comes with? I really hope not because he doesn’t deserve it one bit. To think he wouldn’t even appreciate it and might even refuse to take it from me. Oh Lord, please let me not get embarrassed for my good heart today…The driver finally pulled in front of the company and I was impressed. It was my first time at the office so I had no idea he had something this huge going on.I slowly made my way into the building and once the receptionist saw me, she quickly rose to her feet and bowed with a broad smile.“Good morning ma’am,” she let out while I smiled back at her.“Good morning, I’m here for Zane, can you point me to his office please.” I retorted ahd she nodded.“Of course, ma’am, let me just get this and I’ll take you to him.” She replied. I watched her jam

LyraThe entire drive to the airport was painfully quiet and it felt like I was trapped inside my own thoughts. I sat by the window of the black SUV, watching buildings blur past while Zane sat across from me with his laptop open, barely even looking in my direction.His phone kept ringing nonstop and he kept attending to all of them without fail. It was as if I didn’t even exist or in the car at all. “Move the meeting to Tuesday.”“No, I don’t care what the board thinks.”“Tell them I’ll handle it when I land.”His voice stayed sharp and controlled the whole time, and I could tell some of the calls were from June. Some calls from her were obviously so unnecessary but how else would she make sure Zane isn’t talking to me, other than talking to him herself the whole time. I really wonder what her problem with me is. It’s not as if I ever offended her or something. “Can please stop staring? I’m trying to work here and I understand you can’t relate but can you please stop distractin

LyraIt was the ray of sunlight from the window that woke me. I looked beside me and saw Zane sleeping peacefully like a baby. I stared at his face and couldn’t even deny how good he looked. We may have our differences that makes me dislike him but truth be told, he’s a handsome man.I was still lost in that thought when I suddenly felt a warmth around my waist. I looked and my eyes widened immediately. It was Zane’s arms wrapped around me.Somehow, I froze and for a long second, I wondered if last night got into his head. We were a split second away from kissing and kissing if not for the thunder, we would have crossed the line. I thought of pushing him off initially but when I looked at him sleeping so peacefully, I couldn’t bring myself to do so. His face was close enough for me to feel his breathing against my hair, and honestly that was the first time I was seeing that up close in his sleep. He looked different though, he looked less cold and arrogant. The more I stared, the m

Zane “What’s happening to you, Zane?” I muttered to myself while raking my hands through my hair in frustration. Something was definitely changing between Lyra and I, and honestly, I didn’t know what to do with it. The anger is still there and we still argue so much but now there are moments in between that confused the hell out of me. They seem like small moments but damn dangerous, and I mean moments like noticing she always tucked her hair behind her ear when she was nervous, and how she frowned slightly before laughing. Or the fact that she secretly gave half her food to stray cats outside the hotel in the morning when she thought nobody was looking. That one annoyed me strangely, mostly because it made her harder to hate. And I think she noticed things about me too. I caught her staring once when I adjusted the air conditioner lower before she complained about the heat. “You hate warm rooms,” she said casually and I looked at her. “How do you know that?” I quizzed.

JuneI got to the airport almost an hour early. Jeff didn’t understand why I had to be there when there was a driver. He wanted to take me out instead but i told him I needed to personally handle the media situation before Zane lands and make sure everything is normal after the honeymoon disaster. He believed me and I eagerly went to the airport. The entire weekend had been torture with Zane and I care my got through. I was constantly thinking about what might be happening between them. At first, I felt satisfied after switching the flight arrangements. The wrong city, the missing luggage, the hotel problems… it was supposed to frustrate them enough to make the marriage crack publicly.I wanted Zane to remember exactly why this marriage was a mistake, and why Lyra was wrong for him. He would then finally see the genuine love I have for him. But then, my plan back fired. I was the one who actually lost contact with my man. I expected angry updates about Lyra from him but I was the o
